My quest to create a simple, beautiful life that nurtures my family as well as the earth.

meeting baby ayla

Life has felt extra busy lately, not so much in the many things I have to do everyday. Although it does feel like I always have more to do than time to do it. But mostly because we have been trying to plan out our summer, and are contemplating making some big changes in our lives. What these changes are, I’m not even sure yet, lately we seem to switch directions like the wind. All the mulling it over can be exhausting, and being the planner that I am, I’m dying to know where all this will take us.

I have, for some time now, been wanting to post some pictures from our trip to Kentucky over the holidays. We spent a wonderful time with our friends and family. One of the things I was looking forward to the most, was spending some quality time with my dearest friend, Tina, and finally getting to meet her baby Ayla. What a cutie, and I would have to say the smiliest baby I have ever met. Esme adored her, almost a little too much, and she still can’t stop talking about her when she sees her picture, “baby lala, baby lala!”

We spent a couple of lovely days together in the Red River Gorge. Tina took some amazing pictures of the kids, as usual. Seeing these pictures makes me miss them even more.

Here we are doing the itsy bitsy spider, Esme is an avid singer.

I love the way her hat turned out, I want to make one for every baby I know.
